The ‘Main Dish’ posed this question to each staff member – “What food item best describes you, and why?” See their answers below…
The Main Dish
“I would be an Oscar Meyer weiner.
You know why.”
Wizard
Amalia is busy doing her magic and hasn’t contemplated which food she is yet…
Key Ingredient
“Champagne… sparkling, effervescent, acidic, works well w/other ingredients & gets the party started!”
Class Facilitator
“I’d be a taco. Classic, delicious, small/portable, a total party food & pairs well with a margarita!”
Gadget Guru
“I could be a strawberry… because I’m nice and sweet (but sometimes I am tart!)”
Waitstaff
“I suppose maybe I’d be an onion. There are many layers to me.”
Bean Counter
“Sushi – it’s a rainbow of experiences (and watch out for the wasabi!)”
Wizard
“I’d say I’m a Chocolate Truffle. You don’t always know what’s inside, but you know it’ll be good!”
Wizard
Benjamin didn’t answer, so we’ll pick for him. We’ll pick Kale, because it’s a SUPERfood!
Facilitator/Waitstaff
“I’d be a pineapple. They can be sweet, and they naturally have a crown on top!”
The BBQ Dude
“I’d be a pork butt. Why? Hmmmm… I guess, I like my butt rubbed.”
Jill of All Trades
“I would be butter, because everything is better with butter.”
Key Ingredient
“A tall, tasty buttermilk biscuit to reflect my southern roots.”
Bartender/Waitstaff
Maggie is busy tending bar… check back for her food choice!
Wizard
“A Banana. Yellow = happiness & because you have to get me to open up to get to the good stuff.”
Chicana in Charge
“I would a jalapeño pepper ‘cuz they are spicy like me!”
Class/Event Facilitator
“Fleur de sel, because it makes both savory & sweet taste fantastic.”
Class Coordinator
“I’d be pizza… saucy, spicy and always invited to the party!”
Concierge Culinario
“An egg. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “An egg is always an adventure: the next one may be different.””
Brand Evangelist
“Chocolate, because the only thing better than a friend is a friend with chocolate.”
Missing Ingredient
“Wine. It disappears when added, but makes any dish irresistible.”
Executive Chef
“I’d be bacon,
because… BACON!”
Class Facilitator
“I could be an artichoke. It may appear prickly on the outside sometimes, but it has a sweet heart.”
Events Manager

“Rhubarb Pie… because maybe things aren’t as bad as you thought.”
